in other news, i bought talking percy and salty from trademe last night for $30. i know i already have them, but they will be my scrap guinea pigs, so i can pull one to bits and post up a repair guide. the tomy ones almost always need repair due to damage to the axle cog, so i want to see if the trackmaster ones will need the same in the future.
i went to sanson today... gorgeous day on the bike! both mounts egmont and ruapehu were easily visible on the way. just stunning! i didnt get much... a nice butterfly necklace, some pokemon for the xmas layout, a take along trailer for blair and a train badge. tomorrow im going to palmy to see beauty and the beast in 3d. might even go and see it twice! should be quiet being a monday, so no school kids!
